Win tickets to see johns'<br />
boys at llandaff cathedral<br />
The Welsh choir who made a huge impression on the<br />
millions watching last year’s Britain’s Got Talent have<br />
announced that they are to perform here in Llandaff.<br />
Formed in 2016 by Aled Phillips, Johns’ Boys initially<br />
came together for a Noson Lawen to celebrate the life<br />
and work of two composers and conductors from the<br />
village of Rhosllannerchrugog, John Tudor Davies and<br />
John Glyn Williams.<br />
Following the success of that very special occasion,<br />
it became apparent to Aled and all of the singers<br />
that it would be foolish to pass up the opportunity to<br />
continue to make music together.<br />
Success came quickly for Aled and<br />
Johns’ Boys, as they reached the final of<br />
BBC Choir of the Year later in 2016. Their<br />
achievements didn’t end there however as in<br />
2019, they won the prestigious title of Choir<br />
of the World at the Llangollen International<br />
Eisteddfod.<br />
Many new fans however, will be more<br />
familiar with Johns’ Boys from their very<br />
recent exploits on Britain’s Got Talent.<br />
Performing Calum Scott’s ‘Biblical’, they<br />
entranced the judges with their virtuosic<br />
vocals, eliciting a standing ovation from both<br />
the judges and audience. Johns’ Boys got<br />
through to the live semi-finals.<br />
Today, the choir deliver new, fresh, and<br />
passionate performances of diverse<br />
repertoire: from stunning arrangements of Calum Scott<br />
and Lewis Capaldi to contemporary takes of well-loved<br />
Welsh hymns.<br />
The choir has announced a very special performance<br />
this autumn at Llandaff Cathedral, taking place on<br />
Saturday 26th October - and you can be there!<br />
